Summer's approaching so cut out the extra fuss by not having to actually cut the cake..especially at those beautiful sunny outdoor parties. Instead, say it with cupcakes! This is nothing new...but just a quick tip reminder!

Over the weekend, a client requested Rum Cake Balls and of course not wanting to say no without at least an attempt, I said sure...all the while having a "HUH" moment lol. I have to admit I've never even tasted rum cake before but I was sure that it should probably have a sweet rum flavor throughout the cake which would also have to be tasted beyond the white chocolate coating of the cake ball. So, I started with our vanilla cake recipe with some tweaks, added rum to the batter as well as made a rum syrup to really intensify the flavor. If that wasn't enough I added rum to the cream cheese frosting for reassurance. Although, I'm not fond of the slightest taste of alcohol, I really did fancy the flavor. LOL using words like fancy, maybe I taste tested a little too much..just playing. The cake balls were made, white on white as requested, and with the extras, cake pops for our impromptu slumber party were made. I really hope our client enjoyed them just as much as the EBD team and family.... even my mom who is NOT a drinker at all thought they tasted pretty good...btw tomorrow's her b-day...
